1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,089
hey there everybody
2
00:00:03,810 --> 00:00:09,240
this is Cameron with the C butters
3
00:00:06,089 --> 00:00:11,700
Channel and I get have been getting this
4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,360
question a lot what should I buy the i5
5
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:17,310
version or the i7 version so this is my
6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,670
attempt to answer this question and in
7
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:22,980
case you were wondering I am using the
8
00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:25,619
surface pro 7 currently to record this
9
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:27,420
using the new studio microphones just as
10
00:00:25,619 --> 00:00:30,480
a test of how well these studio
11
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:31,529
microphones work but let's go ahead and
12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,469
get into it
13
00:00:31,529 --> 00:00:38,340
should you get the i5 version of the
14
00:00:34,469 --> 00:00:41,850
surface pro 7 or the i7 first let's take
15
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:44,219
a look at the differences so on the i5
16
00:00:41,850 --> 00:00:47,129
version you're looking at a max boost
17
00:00:44,219 --> 00:00:51,030
rate on the processor of 3.7 gigahertz
18
00:00:47,129 --> 00:00:57,030
and that comes with a 6 megabyte l3
19
00:00:51,030 --> 00:01:00,180
cache a 1.05 GPU max 48 execution units
20
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:02,430
on the GPU and the i5 is fanless and
21
00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:04,530
that does play a factor into your
22
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:07,530
decision here which we'll get to in a
23
00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:11,850
little bit the i7 has a 3.9 gigahertz
24
00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:16,009
CPU max 8 megabyte l3 cache 1.1
25
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:18,479
gigahertz CPU or GPU max and 64
26
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:21,659
execution units and it does have an
27
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:25,320
internal fan so those are the only
28
00:01:21,659 --> 00:01:28,110
differences between the CPUs let's go
29
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:31,110
ahead and look at the price points so
30
00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:35,250
your decision on buying an i5 versus an
31
00:01:31,110 --> 00:01:36,960
i7 is really going to come down to your
32
00:01:35,250 --> 00:01:38,850
storage requirements because that's the
33
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,710
first thing going to start with to start
34
00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:47,040
if you need 16 gigabytes of RAM you're
35
00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:50,759
already going to be at $13.99 or if you
36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,790
need 256 gigabytes of storage you are
37
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:59,520
going to be at 1199 the i7 versions
38
00:01:53,790 --> 00:02:01,140
start at $14.99 over here so let's look
39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,850
at the performance for starting on the
40
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:08,099
performance steep the price point
41
00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:11,250
difference between stepping up from an
42
00:02:08,099 --> 00:02:13,740
i5 to an i7 well if you're someone who
43
00:02:11,250 --> 00:02:17,610
only needs 8 gigabytes of RAM
44
00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:19,640
and 128 gigabytes of disk space is you
45
00:02:17,610 --> 00:02:22,950
know slower disk space because it has
46
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:25,650
less the less storage that SSD has the
47
00:02:22,950 --> 00:02:29,040
slower it goes in general that's a
48
00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:32,670
generalization but generally true so
49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,250
you're asking for $600 more if you're
50
00:02:32,670 --> 00:02:38,810
someone who's okay with 8 gigs and 128
51
00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:43,080
so making that jump over to an i7 is a
52
00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:45,690
66% increase in price it's a $600 more
53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,980
so that's that's kind of steep you know
54
00:02:45,690 --> 00:02:50,820
especially for your just if you're just
55
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:54,200
looking to try to get into a pro 7 now
56
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:59,400
if you say 128 is way too small into 256
57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:02,010
you're paying $300 more to step up to
58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,050
that I seven which is a 25% increase in
59
00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:06,600
in price which is a little bit more
60
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:10,950
palatable but if you're someone who
61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:15,870
wants 16 gigabytes of RAM you're only
62
00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:18,690
looking at $100 to step up to the i7 so
63
00:03:15,870 --> 00:03:22,440
that's kind of our that represents a 7%
64
00:03:18,690 --> 00:03:25,830
increase in price and let's go ahead and
65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:28,560
look at what does the i7 versus the I
66
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:30,180
thought actually get you in terms of
67
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,590
performance and does that performance
68
00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:37,980
warrant $600 more $300 more or $100 more
69
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:42,810
so let's scoot over to the performance
70
00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:44,760
Delta so if you watch my channel you
71
00:03:42,810 --> 00:03:46,080
know I'm the guy who like points a fan
72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,060
at the back of the surface to get
73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,000
maximum performance I have not done that
74
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:52,620
in my benchmark testing for these
75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,460
numbers I want to have real accurate
76
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:57,810
figures for you guys so you can have it
77
00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:59,700
so you know that the numbers I'm giving
78
00:03:57,810 --> 00:04:03,120
you here or what you can expect to get
79
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:07,680
without doing anything weird or crazy on
80
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:11,460
your device so that said I only have the
81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,010
i7 in my possession so my i-5 figures
82
00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:17,070
are from the windows central review of
83
00:04:14,010 --> 00:04:19,500
the surface pro 7i 5 I'm relying on
84
00:04:17,070 --> 00:04:23,630
their benchmarking prowess where these
85
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:27,120
numbers are ones that I did myself so
86
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:32,210
let's go ahead and take a look
87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:35,370
geek bench 5 single 1191 versus 1273
88
00:04:32,210 --> 00:04:38,490
deep bench 5 multi 4 4 or 4/1
89
00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:40,380
anyways I'll cut to the chase I'll go
90
00:04:38,490 --> 00:04:42,360
ahead and load up that that slide so
91
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:45,930
geek bench 5 you've got a 7 percent
92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:49,229
improvement and in the multi core test a
93
00:04:45,930 --> 00:04:52,199
9.2 percent improvement and a geek bench
94
00:04:49,229 --> 00:04:55,290
4 you've got a 7.5 percent improvement
95
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:58,380
in the multi you got eleven point three
96
00:04:55,290 --> 00:05:00,450
percent proven PC mark 10 you pick up a
97
00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:03,620
15% improvement but that's because PC
98
00:05:00,450 --> 00:05:07,740
mark 10 does use some GPU accelerated
99
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:11,430
tests but it's mostly it's mostly CPU
100
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:15,380
and so I've separated these are the CPU
101
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:20,610
benchmarks and these are the GPU
102
00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:22,380
benchmarks so let's look over at the GPU
103
00:05:20,610 --> 00:05:25,919
benchmarks where we see a pretty big
104
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:31,350
difference so if you look at the geek
105
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:38,850
bench 5 compute I 5 gets 7600 13 or the
106
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:45,180
i7 it kind of creams it so it it has a
107
00:05:38,850 --> 00:05:50,490
37% improvement and 3dmark times pi has
108
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:54,300
an improvement of 85% and you may be
109
00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:56,669
wondering okay well these these graphics
110
00:05:54,300 --> 00:06:00,000
are basically the same just one has 64
111
00:05:56,669 --> 00:06:04,200
execution units and the other one has 48
112
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,200
so if you have 64 divided by 48 you
113
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,510
should only have a 33 percent
114
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:12,000
improvement maximum and both of these
115
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:14,880
figures are beating that 33% so what's
116
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:19,050
going on here well we talked about the
117
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,520
i-5 not having a fan a built-in fan not
118
00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:24,440
some weird fan that I put on the back
119
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:30,810
another it's passive I 5 is passive
120
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:35,250
where the i7 has active cooling I'm
121
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:37,890
really enjoying my surface pen so my
122
00:06:35,250 --> 00:06:39,900
theory is that's where this is that's
123
00:06:37,890 --> 00:06:44,250
why we're seeing this performance 2
124
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:47,790
because the i7 in our testing we've seen
125
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:50,460
it kind of hangs out anywhere from 15 to
126
00:06:47,790 --> 00:06:54,120
25 Watts
127
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:59,820
depending on how fresh it is my guess is
128
00:06:54,120 --> 00:07:02,220
the i-5 is set to 10 to 15 watts because
129
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:05,250
I'm probably closer to 10 watts and
130
00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:08,070
that's because it doesn't have a fan you
131
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:12,420
know it's passively cooled so Microsoft
132
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:15,180
is gonna lock that down so because it's
133
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:20,310
being throttled the i7 comes out ahead
134
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:23,610
in these GPU benchmarks so if we look at
135
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:25,740
the sum of all these parts we see that
136
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:29,310
the average CPU advantage moving to an
137
00:07:25,740 --> 00:07:31,680
i7 versalife I've met you roughly a 10%
138
00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:39,350
performance increase for CPU related
139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:43,910
functions and the GPU advantage is a 61%
140
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:48,270
advantage so that's actually really huge
141
00:07:43,910 --> 00:07:51,960
I've in my performance testing of the i7
142
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:55,320
it's it is a beast with the surface pro
143
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,990
7 those 64 execution units combined with
144
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:01,200
a really good cooling solution really
145
00:07:57,990 --> 00:08:06,000
give it an edge and sustained workloads
146
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:10,020
so so we now know that we have kind of a
147
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,930
61% advantage in GPU capability and a
148
00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:16,950
10% advantage in CPU capability so let's
149
00:08:12,930 --> 00:08:21,570
go back and look at our our price points
150
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:23,100
here so if you are just this guy if
151
00:08:21,570 --> 00:08:24,780
you're looking at you know what I don't
152
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:28,290
have a lot of money I just want to get
153
00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:31,800
into a surface pro 7 I would recommend
154
00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:34,910
the pro 7 over the pro 6 even in the i5
155
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,680
version because it's got USB see it has
156
00:08:34,910 --> 00:08:39,930
Intel Wi-Fi it's just better all-around
157
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:46,280
the intervals are completely redesigned
158
00:08:39,930 --> 00:08:48,840
the i-5 in the pro 7 is actually
159
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,960
outperforming in general the surface pro
160
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,600
6 I 7 version so the i-5 pro 7 is better
161
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,390
than the pro 6
162
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,990
sorry am I saying that right the i5 pro
163
00:08:56,390 --> 00:09:02,060
7 is better than the i7 pro 6 that's
164
00:08:59,990 --> 00:09:04,700
that's kind of hard to say so if you're
165
00:09:02,060 --> 00:09:07,030
this guy that $600 is is a hard pill to
166
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:11,600
swallow but if you are a person who
167
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:14,810
wants to use the GPU that still could be
168
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:18,650
viable you're you're gonna pay 66% more
169
00:09:14,810 --> 00:09:20,690
to get over here on the i7 but if you
170
00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:24,080
value GPU if you're gonna be using for
171
00:09:20,690 --> 00:09:28,370
gaming or sustained GPU workloads for
172
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:30,830
whatever reason it's you you're paying
173
00:09:28,370 --> 00:09:32,300
66% more but you're getting 61% more
174
00:09:30,830 --> 00:09:35,570
performance so that may or may not be
175
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:41,720
worth it but if you're this guy who
176
00:09:35,570 --> 00:09:44,810
already needs the 256 and the 8 gig the
177
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:47,690
25% more that you're paying is well
178
00:09:44,810 --> 00:09:50,600
worth it if you are going to utilize
179
00:09:47,690 --> 00:09:53,600
that GPU if you are this guy right here
180
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,700
you just need to not buy the i-5 and you
181
00:09:53,600 --> 00:10:00,290
need to go straight over the i7 the the
182
00:09:55,700 --> 00:10:02,870
7% extra in price is is well worth it to
183
00:10:00,290 --> 00:10:05,480
get the i7 version so really what it
184
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:08,540
comes down to is are you a person who is
185
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:13,550
gonna use the CPU or you person who's
186
00:10:08,540 --> 00:10:14,840
going to use the GPU heavily well I
187
00:10:13,550 --> 00:10:17,420
guess you're always going to be using
188
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:20,330
the GPU but are you going to be using
189
00:10:17,420 --> 00:10:23,960
the GPU do you want to play games do you
190
00:10:20,330 --> 00:10:29,120
want to do compute workloads do you want
191
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:32,960
to have an edge in certain applications
192
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,450
that utilize GPU that's for you to
193
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:40,570
decide
194
00:10:34,450 --> 00:10:45,950
but do know that if you want that GPU
195
00:10:40,570 --> 00:10:50,180
improvement the i7 is a much better bet
196
00:10:45,950 --> 00:10:52,730
for you so I'm not gonna say that you
197
00:10:50,180 --> 00:10:56,980
have to get the i7 but it it's
198
00:10:52,730 --> 00:10:59,600
definitely a very good value proposition
199
00:10:56,980 --> 00:11:02,240
for the extra performance that you're
200
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:06,350
getting and if you're already planning
201
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,370
to get this range on the 256 16 gig you
202
00:11:06,350 --> 00:11:10,640
may as well step right over
203
00:11:07,370 --> 00:11:13,280
so that's as good as I can I can help
204
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,500
you guys out it's always a personal
205
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,020
decision you know some people are only
206
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:21,440
gonna have this much to spend
207
00:11:18,020 --> 00:11:22,730
and that's still money well worth it
208
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,360
we're obviously getting gouged
209
00:11:22,730 --> 00:11:28,790
especially in in these versions even i7
210
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,580
we're getting gouged a little bit but
211
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:34,370
what are you gonna do hopefully you
212
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:37,670
should apply your 10% student discount
213
00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:42,440
if you can and that should help ease the
214
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:47,600
burden of buying a new service pro 7
215
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:51,850
device so anyways if this has been
216
00:11:47,600 --> 00:12:01,190
useful information to you be sure to
217
00:11:51,850 --> 00:12:03,250
thumbs up like and subscribe so thanks
218
00:12:01,190 --> 00:12:06,890
for watching my surface pro 7
219
00:12:03,250 --> 00:12:11,230
performance video on the i-5 versus the
220
00:12:06,890 --> 00:12:11,230
i7 we'll see you next time
